Fitch Rating Indonesia upgraded national rating on Bank Tabungan Pensiunan Nasional Tbk (BTPN) to AAA(idn) from AA+(idn) with a stable outlook. The upgrade was driven by its parent’s strong credit profile, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (SMBC) which its rating also upgraded to ‘A’ from ‘A-‘ last year. The rating upgrade on BTPN indicates strong tendency for the parent to support BTPN due to its role as strategically important business unit for SMBC. In 9M2015, BTPN has maintained satisfactory capital profile on the back of strong SMCB’s support with tier 1 capital ratios stood at 22.9%.
